None of the , fortner connexions 'of this Country no* remained on the Continent - -,4 , . Ave had now no. Allies there—it only remained, therefore, for the Lgislature,to. provide- for,, the se 'curitl, of the Enipirc p ,bytiniting in closer connexion -all classes of 04 own pe , ople. The Petilioncrs pray od that they might be• atlinitteil - to all the offices of 'Stare - , to nil the departments of the Public SerNice,, and to seats in Parliament. the A& of the 33d of the: 'King' gave, to the Catholics political power when it gave them the clee.iive franchise gave them adinksion to all offices, civil,. naval, and military; laving some eXCeptions, about for ty, in nembet,; and the :Petitioners now prayed against these exceptions, and applied for adtnis‘ion to all. Bat befiire he proceeded to 'consider the prayer of these Petitions., should first examine some ohjedians which' were ordinarily urged against tile Catholics. It was objeded against them that they acknowledged the temporal power of a foreign Potentate, and that they were not bound by the ob ligation of an oath. What • was this but to say, that those men who constitute a .great portion. of. the army and navy of 1116 Country, .are de:;- tiitue of those principles that are necessary for the prOervation of the social coinpaa, awl the maio tdnanee of all civil, 'government ; tleit,the religion is . ekeerable„ and all who protess it,' unworthy of any riglits or prillege‘ ,whatever? as if' the_ Catholic rtligien was not professed by the greatest propor tion 4 Europe. It tilt" oojection be well founded, it would follow that t h e Christian Iteligian is illusive. The objectors riltiq eithe, ,, r give up their objections, or thk,,divinity. rat .Tho ,cnristiart Religion'.. 'ln the year 1791 several quest:ons were prop;ised to six of tkie Most e m inent,Vniversilies ott. the Continent, on bite, sebjed of these objections. The questions were submitted to the Universities Of Paris, Thauay, St. Q,nter's, Alcala, and Salamanca, and, the answers Were, thlt the Catholics did aclinoWledge the tem4. ppial power of the Pope; ilia; : they did not believe that the Pope. could absolve ,subjectts from their alle glance to their' Sovereigns ;, that ' they did not hold the doarines.,that, faith was nO to be kept with betetics—and that. they did knit act nowledgein the ?bee etc her tvrnporal or deposing powers. These *ere the ari,wers , given by these learned. gniversitih, Under: a teelieg of moral indignation, that such sholdd have been ascribed to Catholics.— Whatetrer nay be field as the orthodox doc— trines upon other parts, of their religious perina sion, tltese tenets have been . utterly condemned as met terming any part of the Catholic Vaith. He was justified in. concluding, therefore, that thee tenet.; forth ne part Of the Catholic Faith. The Catholics of Ireland, too, had repeatedly renoutieed these doc- - trines. .By the 13th and 14th of his Majesty they' bad abjured the temporal power of the Pope; by the Ad of 1792 they badlikeWise abjured that doc trine, and renounced any pretenhion to the property of Ireland. By the Atit of the aid of the King they had also cdsclainit?d the infallibility of the Pope, as formin,-; no, part of the Catholic Religion, and undcii that Ala, too, the swore to maintain. the Proteatant Establishist:qn and the State. There was no mural Isotnpatibility, therelme, between the two religions. Bo', say the objedors, there is a political ineompati bnity. Let us examine that point. They contend t i ,'lat the Catholic Religion is incompatible with an at 13C111ZIClit to a ,Protestant, Prince,'but favourable to a connection With a Foreign Power ; as if the doc trine of transithiitantiation, and the celebration of the Mass, Were, not coesisteot with allegiance to a Pi'atestant - C Government. To suppose such a 'thing, would be its great a miracle as tranobstantiation it self. There is not, there cannet be, in either any ofdetacitment or ottaehment. , What has taken place in America, as well as in Europe, proves that en, the Continent there has been a silent im provement, a political .reform in' prngressive opera tion. Sueh.a change as Mr. Payley had in contem-' phi.ion,, when Site said, that if the Catholics and the rthteAants were left to thetn'selve3, Withotit ex citing animosities, the Catholics would soon ac quire the Mildness of the Protestants. It would be recollected, that there had been no Protestant com bination in America. The American Protestant 4nd Catholic combined with the letench, WereCatho tics, and the difference of their religious creed nev e r interfered with their vi gorous co-operation for their common object,' 'At present, this country had no Protestant . .Atty—no Ally upon the - Continent heat Sweden. On - the cuntraiy t Pretestains and Catholics ixAre formed into an Anti-Englith:;Confederacy. if ns :Proteatants we could not . find any Ally on the Continent, were we by giving ourselves op to the rairkucAs of religious hig6try, to deprive the country of the services of So large a proportion of our fellow subjeCts; to depauperate every efficient branch of the public establishment. By sO.doing they would not give the country fair play. - It would lite._ vitahly become the vidtim of the tolerant spirit of the Continent, and the religious bigotry of its own. 11,4 tihonlet eonwrid therefore there was' no political incompatibility with a Protestant Geytni_ . mein in the Catholic reiigion, whilst there was a strong pOlitical necessity to unite all CIIISSeS of the people, by removing ail civil disabilities on the acore cif felt ion.

As a general proposition, it would not. be deniod that all , the cla-ses of subjects bad a right to, laws—that the State had a right to the assist. mice and services of all the talen4 of its subjects-- Oat the State had not a right to imposts arbitrary' tests. There WO a case, however, in which the State rigs jits4ied in imposing such tests,when the religion of some of the stihjeCts was the meilintn of foreign at taeliment. Here the case was not so.

Dr. Troy, who has the most' populous Bishoprick in Ireland (Chrk)'has stated, 'that only two instances of excorninunieation luta oceurreet during his incumbency; and that only two, likewise, had occurred in the whole ofitia predecesiot'sadini , nistration of that See. Under .all these eiromate stances, he appealed to the House, whether 'tibia power of execnumuoication or the infiaeuce okthe Pope could be looked upon as dangerous.

But it: it should t' suPlawed. that there was the smallest danger in this course, I he - had a iproposition to suggest,,, which. he hid authority to it which-it-roved 'ne was instructed to. make, namely, that lair )NajeatY may inter fere upon any such, oceaaioa with his negativea...., This would have the effect of preventing any Ca tholic. Ecelesiaatie being advanced to the goaern , merit of that church in Ireland, who was not politi- , cally 4 pproved of by the Gerveroment of that country. It' it was true that Buonaparte halt contront over'tlie Pope- a -the Pops o'er the Catholic Clergy in Ireland ---arid the Catholic f.,:iew ' over. the Catholie Laity there ; then it followed t12..3t .Beietaattarte hat, ii , OAP , trout four a large proportion at - the British army pod navy. It was in the preaent situation of things, therefare, Wallet) a =trout existed, that the chewer was to be apprehended, and not lime granting t' the prayer of the Petitioners. The proposition he had now made would remove all that danger at once, and establish the moral and political iatirety of his Ma. jesty'redominions. He asked of Parliament, there fore, to accept his proposition and grant the prayer of the *Catholics-4o invigorate the Constitution by conneding the Catholic People with the Par-. Willem, and conneding the Kiog with the Cattle , lie Clergy; by the interference which he a wattld exercise with the appointments. So far he had argued the subject on the general grounds. He' came next to COOSICItt it air applied , to Great Aritain. and Ireland. It had been objeaed that the atilliit at' the Catholics were itiColliitifCnt with the Deo-hula don ot i llights, and the Oath prmtibed . by that hi, strument. But if that were the case, he must as. sert that the Revolution, which established alitali-- berties of this Country, was-fraught with ilitherality to Ireland, and the Declaration of Rights would be fatal to its own objed. Yet it' they she uld look .to any fundamental law upon the subledi how would the case stand ? The first ihatalice in which it had been prescribed wail in 1541, when it passed by a • Vote of the two Houses, but without any legislative authority.—lt was afterwards, in the year sixtporie,,, enjoined by a Resolotioa of both Hooses of Parlia. Mont, without becoming an A& of the Legislature, Then it had the srindion cif the Britiali Legiata 'turd, in a for Mal Mt, but that was an Act of op,. pressiou, that could not bind the List) Legialatere., The Ala of William, which re-enacted the proa vision, was also in A of oppression. it was not until the year 1782, that the enc.& of these Ads, and the oaths they enjoined, , were done away_ by a Bill . introchiced by an Horiourable Friend, of. his in that Hoese. What,. however, was the oath that had been enjoined. It was a . vio , lafion of the principle of the DCOaratioll of Rights, arid of the Act • of Settlement, which had after wards been established. These constitutional in moments required that the King should be Protetie ' tam, They did not reqnire that the two other branches of the Legislature should also be Protestant, This he positively denied ; as the principle upon which both rested wasathat the State should have the benefit of all the talents of all descriptionS of subjects in the other branches atilt Legislature. - The principle 44 t r iie provision therefOre was different .from the principle of Ow iiVerence. It never could follow that because it was .expres , 4y provided that the, king should he a Pretestaut, that the other branches of the Legisla, tore should b Pthtestaet too. The, principle ofthe provision, was consistency, the principle of the in ference ihtolerance. It was a fundanaental law of the Empire since the Union, that the Coannons part of the Legislature should be'.eleded by CatholiCs. They ruetat extend their ceostittition, therefore, or, abandon lt, by excluding one-4114.0t the population of the empire from any ahem in the Legislature. It they were to look for existence or duration :for the Empire, they should grant the application of the Pea, deniers. What were the dangers which menaced the Country ? either domestic treason and insurrections, err the powes and attacks •tif the external enemy.— Would the internal danger, therefore, , be more it' they were to have Catholics amongst theist, and'fill ing offices of trust and''confidence, , who could at, fectually awl equally manage .and regulate the lie. mourn toll protettathe .lititeec - St3 of the - ileapk; ~...,.

It had been said, t hat the objet of the Catholics was; to establish the Cetholic'Church. To this his answer was, that the.V•lial, and could Gave, do etch intention, their ob)eLt Was to obtain aeets 'Parliament, and be admiseible en all the 'other ottipes of the State. This was Treinch more` constitutiopef objea then that of those who wished for a monopoly of Parliament, and to excinde se I •a,pertiou their felloW. aubjeas froth all the emitieot affibes of the State. The Catholics' had been accused of treason because they refused' to take the Oath , of supremacy, which the Disseritere did not take, find front their attachment terthe'DOpe. This charge too, is urged after the repeated declarations of Parka= mein to thecontrary; after the -A6t gave them political power, end recognised the' prin ciple of their claims. As .to their •endeavotiring, it advenced to power, to overturn the 'Protestant Re ligion and establish their own, that objealen - was" founded upon the Sally as the former opinions, that Catholics were incapabheof - every virtue and eapeble, of every vice—art execrable race' not to, be softened by any mild treattnene. It waS here to beohseried,' that the 'Catholics paid the Protestant Clergy, and that could certainly be no geed ground 'for rellising their claitns: Those who , tirged-'-sttelf Charges 'and justified them,upon the score of religion; rendered even Omnipotence subservient tri . their vile purposes., They accommodated the Deity with a certain por tion of our Vices and iniquities. The casuists lost sight of the Deity, and of his most heavenly attribetei, and endeavoured to found the immortality of the Church" upon a forgetielnes, of birth, It was only upotilhe mild. and beneficent qualities that belong to the Au thor of all religion that they should found the stability of the Church, and say of it, " estO perktup." But whilst bigots - overlooked the Deity and his attri butes, they did not lose sight of 'a little . profitable Church establishment. They set up their' Own passions as the diaates of religion, .and.profaned, the worship of the Deity, by making it the pretext for extravag3ncies. The Protestant Establishment' should not be propped or bolstered up 'by any eq.' , temptible Test Laws: How, he would ask, were the Catholics to. overturn the Church Establish ment ? It roast be either by law or by figee, • If by law, they must become the majority, which no per . son can apprehend ; and by admitting their claims, a constitutional diredtion would be'givelt td their, sical- force. So at least it 'would besaid'Of Turks-or Heathens : but that is tio(the language in w Web fel low Christians are spoked of. 'They areto he styled an execrable sea, which 'the more they get the more they tfemtnid. So it 'was thitt sects Of tiaras were accustomed to speak . of e t adh other. It was asserted that the' rish Catholics were hostile to the State, and to those who professed the religion' ef•the State.' -It was not as belonging to irelend that :they could ha supposed to be se, for then the Irish Protestants would beequally actuated by the same hostility. 'lt was not as Catholics that the imputa tion mild attach to them ; for then the Catholics of England would be equally liable to it.' The_ sub stance of the chatgc • than, if it had any in it, ipplied neither to the Irish charaCter, nor to the Catholic principles, but to the defect of the law:— . He therefore begged' Gentlemen to consider the very dangerous mischief that flowed from laws of this sort, ,which had in themselves the' substan live causes of hatred and hostility in the bdsom of the State. Ile could, indeed, ..conceive it possible -that a certain sting may have been left behind'by the, fong and grinding operation of the penal-laws, which May continue to operate notwithstanding the repeal Of those laws. But let it not be therefore said, that the Catholics were governed well, but that their,per verse and recreant spirits were not to be reconciled. • This was as much as to say that man had done all that was possible for them, but that Gpd had made -them so much amiss as to be absolutely incorrigible. 'lire, root of the evil lay in an absurd code of laws, and . Perliament had, of course, the remedy in its own bands. - He • woeld recite to the period of the, repeal, of the *Test AU, and he would cite the words of a - great . Law Lord, who describ ed 'the penalties of the Catholic as beginning at his birth,' and perseeuting Itito till his death.- The. penal laws received him at his birth,, they stood by hie - bridal bed,, and they did not leave hint at rest even in'his coffin :- these dreadful penal ties were partly repeale.d by the Irish Parliament, and, it renniintel now for the Imperial Legislature to re- • move that part of the bsrthen that Was . still in forde. The - Irish nation was told that there were many narrow spirits - in its Parliknent, and certainly there . were some who! world always endeavour to thwart any large measure iii favotir of the Catholics,' but that an Imperial Parliament would be' regulated by libetel principles, and would legislate on a grand scale. i7le now called for the pert4mance of the promise. He would proceed to the argtiment, if such it could he caned, pfdaugers,likely to reshlt to the scellement of 'property k Ireland, in the event of admitting the, Catholics to political preiver.
